My Bipartisan American Affordability and Jobs Act is going to generate benefits for our skilled workers in the state of New Mexico for a very long time to come.
We want to build the jobs in New Mexico that you can build a family around, and that's what unions are all about. That's the way I grew up with my dad.
Our whole premise as we approached this permitting bill was: How do we create a faster process, not lower the bar on standards.
And some of the secret sauce in this was just the fact that we had four people who were genuinely committed to a balanced package that both sides could support.
